Firefighters arrived on the scene and put out the fire, but KVII reported that some hot spots remained Friday night, forcing firefighters to remain on site through the night. Debris from the explosion was found up to 200 yards away from the blast.

The musical uses extensive pyrotechnics, including numerous fireworks for the Grand Finale.

The woman's identity has not been released pending notification of next-of-kin.
